Texas (officially the Republic of Texas) is a small nation in central North America. After winning their independence from Spain in the Texas War of Independence, Texas strived to solidify themselves among nearby nations such as Louisiana, California, and the United States of America. The economy is driven by oil and agriculture. Internally, civil rights remains a high issue (with Hispanics and Blacks sometimes moving to California instead).
